I don’t like surprises. I especially don’t like lame surprises. This is our first Christmas together and I figured I’d tell Dean what I wanted. There are very few things I want in life. If I want something, I get it. But this is a present that can be rather expensive depending on which hardcover you get. I’ve been eyeing his work for years.

Hi Baby, I don’t want you to stress about what to get me for Christmas so I’ll just tell you.
I’m fascinated by Henry Darger who was a janitor in Chicago. After he died, people found a mass of beautiful illustrations with accompanying stories in his apartment.
He’s a genius! I would love if you could get me one of his hardcover books. You can find him on Amazon.com. I’ll just let you surprise me with which one you pick. Yey!!!
